Little Heroes Fun Day... Sunday Sept 29Th A VERY special event to recognise and reward Kerry’s brave little heroes who are dealing with cancer is being organised in Tralee on Sunday, September 29.Organised by cancer support charity, Recovery Haven Kerry, a special ‘Little Heroes’ Fun day will take place at Mitchell’s Tralee from 3-6pm and will coincide with Children’s Cancer Awareness Month in September.The brainchild of Recovery Haven manager, Siobhan MacSweeney, the fun event is a way of helping our most vulnerable cancer sufferers and their families forget about their illness for a few hours and enjoy a host of special treats laid on for them.Recovery Haven already offers a range of counselling and group therapy sessions to children dealing with cancer, including the highly acclaimed CLIMB programme, which offers support to children dealing with a cancer diagnosis of
a significant person in their life (from siblings to parents to grandparents). However, Siobhan said that the charity wanted to do something extra special to mark Children’s Cancer Awareness Month, while making a big fuss of our own little fighters and their families.“We wanted to show our appreciation for these amazing, brave youngsters right across the county who are enduring some very difficult battles, and what better way to do that than to organise a fun day in their honour,” Siobhan explained.
“Our Little Heroes day is all about celebrating these wonderful children and their families, while highlighting the growing range of services available for children affected by cancer at Recovery Haven. We want to show them that we are all here for them.” Siobhan explained that the event is not restricted to Recovery Haven clients, but
is open to any child going through cancer or dealing with a cancer diagnosis in their immediate families.Among the fun activities planned for the afternoon will be bouncy castles, vintage fire engine rides, a visit from the garda car, magical fairy fun, a disco with DJ Donal and lots of goodies to give away. Entry is free and Siobhan is
encouraging as many families as possible to come along and celebrate these amazing, brave little fighters. Meanwhile, anyone else willing to offer their services to make this day extra special is asked to contact Recovery Haven on 0667192122.

Beauty
HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
I hope you’re all having an amazing week, especially with this weather we’re having!
This week I wanted to talk about beauty products that I’ve recently been loving that aren’t makeup. So here we go… Hairburst Healthy Hair
Ole Henrikesen Banana
Vitamins - I took these
Bright Primer: I know I
the last time I wanted to grow my hair and they worked a dream (pity I’ve bleached and chopped it since that). So I recently started taking them again. I got them in Holland & Barrett - you have to take them for at least 8 weeks to start seeing results.
said no makeup things today but technically this is actually a skin product. I sometimes wear it even when I’m not wearing makeup and it just makes my skin look and feel unreal. So hydrated and glowy. I ordered it on Boots.ie & got free next day delivery into store.
Mark Hill Invisible taming polish If you know me, one of my current go to hairstyles is a slick middle parting low bun. This stuff keeps all the baby hairs away without my hair looking too wet or shiny. I got it in Boots for €10.
Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Buttercream This product smells absolutely amazing, and it also leaves my skin feeling so so soft. You can get it in Boots.

24 What’s Happening In Tralee..
FITNESS!
Get your business noticed in Tralee’s favourite Friday read
HELLO MY STRONG FRIENDS I hope you’re all having a great week!
This week I finally have got back into a regular groove, I’ve been ensuring I do 15,000+ steps per day, going to the gym doing heavy weights & tracking my calories. Today I trained legs and now have the most INSANE DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness). As in my legs are killlllllling me. But I’m delighted to be back in a routine. And I’m just loving the vibe at The Arena Tralee - everyone is always happy and helpful. Plus the music is always on point. I think it’s very important that whatever exercise that you’re doing, that you enjoy it!
Food wise I have been making better choices, and tracking my calories. I’ve been absolutely living for pancakes don’t ask why. So I thought I’d share my fool proof recipie for both training and non training days. Just because you are working out and watching what you eat doesn't mean you can't have yummy pancakes! Here are two separate recipes that I like
TRAINING DAY PANCAKES: serves one. • • • • •
40g oats 1 egg 50g egg whites Vanilla extract Almond milk - 1 or 2 tbsp as needed.
Blend the oats into a powder consistency in a nutri bullet or something similar. Add all the other ingredients and mix well. Cook as normal using extra virgin olive oil.
to use, one is higher carb for training days, and the other is higher in fat and protein for non training days, both are delicious! Although I do prefer the training day ones better cause they're fluffier.
Blend all of the ingredients in a blender. Cook as normal in extra virgin olive oil - or any oil you prefer. Of course you can eat the training day pancakes on a non training day too! It all depends on your macros, if you track them. Enjoy & never feel guilty about food! MY FAVOURITE TOPPINGS: Bacon medallions/turkey rashers & myprotein syrup.25grams of Nutella and strawberries.
NON TRAINING DAY PANCAKES: • • • •
100g egg whites 1 large egg 20g protein powder 2 tsp chia seeds

26HEALTHY What’s Happening RECIPES In Tralee..

TRALEE ADVERTISER
HEALTHY RECIPES for 2019
Pommes délicieuses (Delicious Apples!)
Apples are in season now and you can get some really beautiful ones in your local fruit and veg shops, farmers market or Manna organic shop here in Tralee . They are so versatile in how you can use them and cook them. Here is a french classic tart for you to try.
APPLE AND CALVADOS TART (GALETTE DE POMMES AU CALVADOS)
PUFF PASTRY • 1 3/4 pound apples • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice • 1/3 cup plus 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar CALVADOS APPLE SAUCE • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple jelly(I use hartys jelly) • 1 cup chilled cream • 1 tablespoon castor sugar • 1 1/2 tablespoons Calvados SPECIAL EQUIPMENT parchment paper; a large baking sheet (at least 14 inches wide) METHOD Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a rough 16-inch round (1/8 inch thick), then transfer carefully to parchment-lined large baking sheet. Loosely fold in edge of pastry where necessary to fit on baking sheet, then chill, covered, 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 175c While pastry is chilling, peel and core apples, then cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Toss slices with lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Put baking sheet with pastry on a work surface and unfold any edges so pastry is flat. Spread applesauce over pastry, leaving a 2-inch border, and top sauce with sliced apples, mounding slightly. Fold edges of dough over filling, partially covering apples (center will not be covered) and pleating dough as necessary. Dot apples with butter, then brush pastry edge lightly with water and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar. Bake galette in middle of oven until pastry is golden and apples are tender, 40 to 45 minutes. While galette is baking, melt apple jelly in a very small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring. Slide baked galette on parchment onto a rack, then brush with melted jelly and cool galette until warm or room temperature. Beat together cream and castor sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until cream just holds soft peaks, then beat in Calvados. Serve galette topped with dollops of Calvados cream.

He asks the barman, "How tall is a penguin?" The barman says about three feet. Santa, "Don't you get any penguins taller than that!" The barman says, "Maybe maximum four feet but no taller than that." Santa, "Oh crap, in that case, I just drove over a nun!"

THE PIRATE
A pirate walks into a bar. “It’s been a while since I last saw you,” The bartender says, “you look pretty beat up, what happened to you?” “Nothing much. I’m just fine,” the pirate replies. “But what about the wooden leg?” the bartender asks. “Ah, I got that a while ago. My leg was blown off by a cannon ball, but I’m fine now.” “And what about the hook?” “Oh, that. I got my hand chopped off in a sword fight.” “How’s you get the eye patch, then?” “Well, a speck of dust get in my eye.” “You lost your eye from a speck of dust?” “That was my first day with the hook.”

A WIFE WAS IN BED WITH HER BOYFRIEND
when she heard her husband’s key in the door. “Stay where you are,” she said. “He’s so drunk he won’t even notice you’re in bed with me.” The husband lurched into bed, but a few minutes later, through a drunken haze, he saw six feet sticking out at the end of the bed. He turned to his wife: “Hey, there are six feet in this bed. There should only be four. What’s going on?” “You’re so drunk you miscounted,” said the wife. Get out of bed and try again. You can see better from over there. The husband climbed out of bed and counted. One, two, three, four. Damn, you’re right.

MOTORING SNIPPETS
A new study by Cartell.ie highlights how potential purchasers now have a one in six chance of buying a car with finance outstanding. It leaves buyers at considerable risk of losing what they paid for the car if it is seized. Lenders are legally entitled to take the car and leave you with nothing, even though you might have paid â‚Ź20,000 for it. The Cartell.ie report found the number of cars still "in debt" when offered for sale has risen to 17.5pc this year. That is up from 16.6pc last December and a significant rise from the 11.5pc of January 2017. Cartell.ie expert John Byrne warns: "You may be buying a huge problem." One of the key findings is that the newer the vehicle, the more likely it is to have money still owed. The analysis shows there is now more than a two in five chance of a one-year-old car being offered for sale with finance outstanding. There is a similar degree of risk with three-year-old vehicles. The level of indebtedness emerges from a sample of nearly 6,000 vehicles offered for sale and checked via the Cartell.ie website in the first half of the year. The figures seem to reflect two broad trends. The first is that many owners have stretched too far and can't keep up the repayments. But experts also believe the increase gives an insight into how more people, especially those on PCPs, are gauging the value of their car. They are testing the market to see what they would get if they sold privately. They are checking if someone will pay more than the guaranteed minimum value (GMV) under a PCP plan, for example. The real danger - for unsuspecting buyers - is the likelihood that some unscrupulous sellers may be trying to pull a fast one. That is why it is essential to have a car's financial history checked out. It is unlikely that older vehicles have PCPs, yet even they are regularly offered for purchase with money owed - 16.43pc of all 2013-registered vehicles were in that bracket. Mr Byrne says: "What's really concerning is that finance levels are up all across the years, and the headline figure of 17.5pc overall is particularly concerning." * Ford Mustang owners from all over Europe set a new world record for the most models in a single parade, at the brand's Lommel proving ground in Belgium recently. The 1,326 Mustangs beat the previous record of 960 - also set by Ford - in Mexico in December 2017 Eddie Cunningham ,Indo motoring
TOP FIVE REASONS MOTORISTS GET PENALTY POINTS
It was one of the first, and remains one of the most effective, road safety interventions introduced in Ireland.The penalty points system was introduced on November 1, 2002. At first it only included the offence of speeding. Seatbelts, no insurance and mobile phone offences were added shortly after. Now 63 offences attract penalty points. The system is designed to prevent drivers from endangering themselves and others. It's a voluntary system. Penalty points are not being forced on people. If you accumulate 12 penalty points within a three-year period you face disqualification from driving for six months. A lower threshold of seven penalty points, leading to disqualification, applies to learner permit holders who took out their first permit on or after August 1, 2014; and novice drivers.The points' headline offences remain speeding, mobile phone use non-seatbelt wearing. The top five that attract penalties are: 1. Speeding: 413,135 notices have been issued in the last three years. Speeding is the most significant contributory factor to road trauma. 2. Mobile phone offences: 82,079 notices issued. Research shows you are four times more likely to crash if using a hand-held mobile. This increases substantially if texting. 3. Seat belts: 26,582 notices; 21,536 of these have been issued for failing to wear their own seatbelt. A seatbelt can significantly increase your chances of surviving a crash. The remaining 5,046 notices were issued for failing to properly restrain children. Because children cannot be responsible for their own safety in a car, failing to restrain them properly is selfish and irresponsible. 4. No NCT: 19,870 notices issued for failing to have a valid NCT certificate. Research shows that defective tyres are a factor in almost 14 deaths annually. 5. Driving without reasonable consideration: 15,479 notices issued. This is where a driver's actions, while not leading to a crash, adversely affect another driver. Others include no insurance (13,345 notices), learner drivers driving unaccompanied (13,044) and breaking a red light (11,676). The vast majority of drivers, 402,780 out of 519,658, have three or fewer points. So, for the majority it really is a case of 'once bitten, twice shy'. That is how the system is designed to work - as a deterrent. Friday 20th September 2019

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR ANOTHER KERRY DUBLIN CLASH: Following last weekend’s Kerry Dublin encounter at Croke Park fans will not have as far to travel for the next big encounter with a team from the capital. This time it’s the SuperLeague champions Garvey’s Tralee Warriors who welcome their end of season foes UCD Marian to the Complex this Saturday night with a 7.30pm tip-off. Fans made the Tralee venue a fortress last season with a wonderful and noisy atmosphere that certainly helped the Warrior get over the line – against the side that the open this year’s campaign against on Saturday night. The Warriors have a huge group of dedicated volunteers who were on duty at every home game last season and handled the crowds with great professionalism. They are a vital part of what makes the game night experience at the Complex such an enjoyable one. The game will once again be an all ticket affair and will probably be full from 6.30pm so once you have a ticket make sure to come along early. If you are planning to go to a good number of the home games maybe a season ticket is the best option and some of these are still available from Gerard in the Castle Bar. Back to the squad and the launch was held this week with hard coach Pat Price and his assistants John Dowling and Gareth Moore unveiling their new signings. The fans are looking forward to seeing how Jonathan Lawton, the new American from Florida Southern College, settles in. Joining from closer at hand are Daniel Jokubaitis and Ivan Bogdanovic join from Keane’s Killorglin. Patrick McCarthy is also back having spent last season studying overseas. The Warriors have a tough start to the season and by their 5th game will have played the teams that finished 2nd, 3rd and 5th last season. After Saturday’s mouthwatering clash with UCD Marian they welcome Belfast Star to Tralee before they go on the road for games against Eanna BC and DCU Saints before they come back for the home game against Templeogue on October 15th. Pat Price has had a busy summer after leading the Warriors to their League win. He has been on Irish coaching duty at the European Championships and told me that he Friday 20th September 2019
was delighted with the standard of the talent coming through. But now he is focused on the new season with the Warriors starting off on Saturday night. “It’s a nice way to get things underway! We have been working hard to have the pieces in place to get the season underway on a positive note. “Last year was wonderful but also not perfect! What we would like to repeat is the commitment from the players to improve in season and to earn the right to be in the shake-up come late season” Basketball is certainly getting close to the halcyon days of the 70’s and 80’s and Kerry is certainly at the forefront with two SuperLeague teams and Killarney’s Scott’s Lakers having realistic ambitions this season to make it three. Underage basketball is also booming in the Academies and with the amount of underage teams. The Kerry Area Basketball Board are deep into planning for their new season that tips off next month with lots to look forward to. We will come back to the KABB scene in the coming weeks. This weekend it is all about the opening games of the National League season. As well as Garvey’s at home to UCD Keanes Supervalu Killorglin are away to Neptune while Scotts Lakers St Pauls open their Division 1 campaign away to Limerick Celtics. The Ladies Leagues do not start until the following weekend when Team Tom McCarthy’s will be in action.
2020 they deserve to be at 4/6 having been backed in from 10/11 after the weekend’s win. Kerry are at 11/4 with Donegal next at 12/1. Our neighbours Cork are at 28/1 which does look at little generous but they probably need a year or two to bring through their undisputed underage talent. From a Kerry point of view they should have a settled management team and squad with very few, if any, expected to step away. The management will be watching the County Championship which gets underway this weekend to see if there are other players they will want to have a look at during the League campaign after Christmas. Back to the 2020 All Ireland campaign and while I stand to be corrected if Kerry and Dublin both win their Provincial titles they will be in the same side of the Super 8’s. So we could have two huge Kerry / Dublin clashes in August and September. Now that’s worth looking forward to. TRALEE MANOR WEST BC READY FOR UP- HILL CHALLENGE: Plans are being finalised for the National Hill Climb Championships which will take place on the 29th on the hill by Crag Cave in Castleisland. Tralee Manor West are the host club and have set a course of just over 1.3km with an average gradient of 10%. The top riders are expected to complete the climb in just over 3 minutes. Killarney’s Conor Kissane was 2nd in 2018 and 3rd in 2019 and will be going all out to take the top step of the podium. However up to 60 riders are expected to compete so being crowned National Champion certainly wont come easy. ELAINE’S FEAT SUPERSEDED:
TOP TWO STREETS AHEAD IN THE BETTING:
Now that the dust is settling on the recent All Ireland final replay Kerry’s performances has seen them move much closer to Dublin – in the bookies eyes. Dublin are once again the hot favourites to take the Steps to Six – we will need to come up with a catchier title to match the Drive for Five. Of course a lot of this could change if a number of the Dublin players step down. And of course one of the big questions is whether Jim Gavin stays or goes. One of his biggest strengths is that the average age of the Dublin team is coming down and indeed some of those that might go are now only subs or bit players. So in the very early days of betting for the
Last week we covered the excellent feat by Elaine Burrows Dillane in swimming the Channel but even she would say that what Sarah Thomas did this week is an amazing achievement. The breast cancer survivor spent just over 54 hours in the water completing a 4 time non-stop crossing of the channel. And as we said when covering Elaine’s crossing last week the swimmer can have no contact with any of her back up crew. They put the food for the swimmers on a long pole. Before Sarah this week no one had ever completed the fourth crossing – four swimmers had done three non-stop crossing. I know this is not a Tralee story
Call Chris or Colette Tel: 066-7126399 or e-mail : traleeadvertiser@gmail.com
but one I felt was certainly worth putting in after our coverage of Elaine last week. BORN TO RUN: Well done to all club members who took part in the Rose of Tralee 10k, the Medieval Marathon in Kilkenny and the Dingle Half & Full Marathon recently. Congratulations to all those who have achieved personal milestones, including Helen Twomey and Tony Ponti who completed their first half marathons in Dingle and to Jackie Moriarty on his first full marathon. Club members from Born to Run are invited to take part in the weekly Tralee Parkrun. This will be a club day so everyone is asked to wear club gear and go for a cup of tea afterwards. It would be great to see as many from the club as possible turn out on the day whether you walk, run or volunteer. This year's club Christmas party will take place in the Brogue Inn on Saturday December 7th so mark the date in your diary! Tickets will be available in the next few weeks. Training continues each week for upcoming events including the Women's Mini Marathon in Limerick, the Dublin City Marathon and the Listowel Half Marathon and 10k. For details of routes, check out the Born to Run Facebook page. Club nights continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6.30pm from the Aqua Dome. New members always welcome and anyone who is injured can still come along for a cuppa and a chat. CLASS PODIUMS AT CLARE STAGES RALLY: There was a large Kerry entry into the Dougie Hughes Memorial Clare Stages Rally. The event was the final round of the Top Park West Coast Rally. Topping the Kerry results were Tim Enright and Stephen Buckley who were 18th in their Ford Escort Mk 2 and 4th in Class 13. James Kissane and Eoin Duffin were 2nd in Class 11R. Richard Talbot was calling the notes for Christy Carey from Clare in the Mitsubishi Evo 8 and they were 4th in Class 15 and 23rd overall. Denis Hickey and Sean Nolan were 3rd in Class 14 in their Escort. Maurice Browne and James Browne also took a podium place taking 3rd in Class 12 in the Mark 2. NIGHTS AT THE DOGS: This Friday night at the Kingdom Greyhound stadium it’s the first round heats of the Crotta GAA Buster A5 525 yards. The following night it’s the final of the ON525 yards plus the final of the Tom O’Sullivan Memorial A3 525 yards. This is the centre piece of a joint benefit night for the Buy A Bus Campaign for the Kerry Parents and Friends and the Kerry Cancer Bus.

LIFTING FOR IRELAND: Tralee’s Rachel O’Connor is continuing her preparations for her forthcoming trip to Canada where she will be wearing the Green of Ireland in the International Weightlifting Championships. PARNELL’S NEWS: The club is holding a family fundraising night in Caherslee on Friday the 27th with lots of activities for all the family. Arm bands are now on sale to allow participation where there will be a hospitality area on the gravel plus lots of fun games and competitions including a Poc Fada challenge with more activities to be announced. The u13’s put in a great effort to defeat Crotta in the North Kerry u13B final that took place in Kilmoyley. Crotta had the better of the first half and led by 1-06 to 0-2 at the break. However some changes by Parnells worked wonders, especially Andrew Kerins. 1-02 in the first few minutes got them back into the game and the Tralee boys took the win 3-12 to 1-11. There was a nice moment at the presentation when captain Sean Barrett was joined by Thomas O’Connell, grandson of the man who the Shield is named after Michael O’Connell to collect the trophy from his grandmother. Emanuel Brankovic was named player of the match. The minors played their opening game in the much-needed inaugural u18 County League. Causeway were the opposition but the Tralee side put in a very good effort on the night. Cillard are their next opposition. The u21’s were underdogs when they faced St Brendan’s Ardfert in the North Kerry Championship a few weeks ago and the faced the same opposition at home last week. The visitors got off to the better start but Parnells steadied the ship. The Tralee side are in their first ever North Kerry Championship and will need time to get to this level. But playing against sides at this level is the only way for the club to progress. The game came to a premature end when the lights failed and will be rescheduled. The u10’s had a very enjoyable day in the Jack Moriarty Memorial Tournament in Clonlara in Clare winning 2 out of their 3 games. This saw them play Clarinbridge in the B Final but despite a great effort they went down by a single goal. Luke Hanafin was a very worthy winner of the Player of the Tournament award. The club was delighted to get the invitation and look forward to travelling again next season. The club is very proud of its members who are part of the victorious Kerry side and after defeating Armagh they were thrilled to parade the trophy

PITCH AND PUTT NEWS: A team from Tralee and two from Deerpark will represent Kerry in the Strokeplay Qualifying tournament where a top 5 place will guarantee them a place in next month’s quarter finals. The competition takes place in Bruff. There was no joy last weekend for the Kerry pairs in the inaugural National Scotch (formerly mixed) Foursomes Finals that took place in Bellewstown. Tralee’s Lisa O’Connor and Tony Blake put in a great effort and were only three points of a prize ending on 87 points (44 and 43 in each round) with 90 taking second place.
The governing bodies of amateur golf in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales are delighted to announce that they have signed the licence for the new World Handicap System (WHS) which will come into operation on November 2, 2020. As members of the Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU), the Golfing Union of Ireland, the Irish Ladies Golf Union, England Golf, Scottish Golf and Wales Golf have supported The R&A and USGA in planning for the new system. The current Golf Handicapping System maintained by CONGU will be replaced by WHS. For the first time, handicap systems worldwide will be substituted by a global system where golfers will obtain and maintain a handicap and use this on any course around the world. In addition, they will be able to compete or simply play a casual round with fellow golfers anywhere on a fair and equal basis. As well as encouraging players new to the sport to obtain a handicap with ease, the WHS will also modernise the game for those already well versed in the game of golf. Under the new system a player’s handicap will be based on the average of eight best scores from their last 20 rounds. WHS will also take into account factors currently not fully represented in the existing handicapping procedure through a course and slope rating system. Further information about the new World Handicap System can be found via The R&A website at https://www.randa.org/ WorldHandicapSystem
